  1. I bought a 2022 Kia XCeed GT-Line from them last summer. I had the same concerns to begin with, so I spoke to my bank before sending any money. They explained how the transfer worked and that there'd be a full record of everything, which put my mind at ease. The car turned up just over a week later and I honestly couldn't fault it. It was exactly what I'd expected from the advert.
  2. No, on idle it's completely silent from both sides; it only starts to cluck somewhat under load at low RPMs, about 1000-1500. Many people have suggested high pressure pumps, but I haven't been able to prove them wrong.
  3. Good day. This little clunk or bang came out of nowhere and was really bothersome. I've checked the oil filter for flakes, replaced the spark plugs with the correct torque, used new MB 5w40 oil, and used the borescope to ensure that the sleeves are OK. However, still nothing. It seems like the noise went away the day after the oil change, but it came back the next day. Not audible at idle, but detectable between 1000 and 1500 rpm when the engine warms up, and then practically goes away when the engine becomes hot. I ran the Xentry diagnostic last night and everything came back clear: no misfire, no errors, no stored codes, etc. The engine pulls nicely, but I'm afraid to push it to its limits because of this. I tried using a statoscope on my own, but the noises weren't suspicious—just like the ones I mentioned before—and the tapping wasn't happening while the heads were at rest. Where can I find out what I need to know before I waste money on guesswork and garage advice? I came across a discussion on a similar subject, but the tone changed abruptly, and it is unclear if anyone has resolved the issue. Best regards

    Fried module?

    Fried module?

    You need a professional (not a do-it-yourselfer) to reset the footwell module. I hired precise garage, who sell on eBay; all you have to do is send them the FRM (forget the name).
  6. It may be either n52 or n53; therefore, it is advisable to proceed as indicated and verify using the VIN number.
  7. PS If you are acquainted with your engine builder, it is worthwhile to enquire if they are still employed at AMG and whether a meeting is possible. Occasionally, they successfully accomplish it, quite impressive.
  8. I recommend the AMG factory tour as well. For an AMG, providing the VIN number suffices for booking. All complimentary badges, including of a meal. It is uncertain whether individuals without an AMG can participate, however it may be worthwhile to enquire if you are interested. Even individuals who lack an interest in automobiles like it.
  9. This is peculiar. The instructions indicate that there are two components, with the section nearer to the seat being foldable.
  10. Intriguing. I have seen that the description for the link I shared indicates three items. I am uncertain about my feelings towards it; but, I believe I would need to see one to have a more informed perspective.
  11. Affirmative. I prefer not to remove a rubber tray to reach the storage underneath. Consequently, the OEM seems to be the optimal choice.
  12. Indeed. I am aware of that. 😃 I am enquiring about the OEM rubber cargo tray.
  13. https://parts.medcentermazda.com/p/Mazda__CX-70/Cargo-Tray/147861241/KR9DV0360A.html?partner=googlebase_adwords&feedLabel=cvb_make_model&kwd=&matchtype=&device=m&network=g&userLocation=9002711&googleCampaignID=19966516712&googleAdGroupID=148866151838&googleAdID=654690657004&googleExtensionID=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19966516712&gbraid=0AAAAADxCSLt-0hTZuRv3_qg6pF0Vps2hf&gclid=CjwKCAjwt-_FBhBzEiwA7QEqyMIZJew7Ohym-LR02TBfSmt54UvWqpBgxv1yIvn-rbWVAUY8tj3YxRoCg9sQAvD_BwE
  14. Does anybody own this? It seems to include recesses or grooves that facilitate folding, so granting access to the under-storage trays.
  15. I concur. I possess two customised vehicles: a Jaguar XKR and a factory C4 Corvette, both equipped with stainless steel sports exhausts. However, my spouse has prohibited me from making similar modifications to the CL, as it would fundamentally alter the car's character, which I regard as inherently elegant.

    The same occurrence occurred for me yesterday, immediately followed by the Alarm!
  17. Affirmative. The BMW two-year or 20,000-mile service interval is just a strategy to present maintenance expenses as reduced, which, in my view and that of many others, is detrimental to the engine.
  18. Examine the maintenance records and identify further oil changes, namely those scheduled for every 12 months or between 7,000 to 10,000 miles. Locating a vehicle that has undergone maintenance indicates that the owner valued it and did not just use it.
  19. A buddy upgraded to Endless pads (ME20) on his GTS while monitoring it and saw a significant improvement compared to the factory pads. He further updated to the Endless brake fluid. He said that they are quite noisy in the vicinity.
  20. My E91 originally had Sachs under the MSport specification. I replaced them with Bilstein B4 as an OEM-spec substitute when they need replacing, and they perform well, similar to the original Sachs. I conducted extensive research and verification of component numbers to ensure their equivalence to Msport specifications, since they vary from SE specifications.
  21. It is exhausted. 2007 may represent either a late N46 (the last models were on 57 plates) or an early N43. N46 engines were notorious for oil consumption due to faulty valve stem seals and piston rings. Regardless, the cost of repairs will exceed the car's value. The responsibility is on the dealer to resolve this matter in one manner or another.
  22. Extract it and examine it. or do a search on https://partsouq.com/
